Chapter 519 Why all the secrecy?

While waiting for Asti to arrive, they discussed the possibility of 'cooperating' with the church.

"Does that organization have the same goals as us?" Bertrand asked, taking a sip of his lemon tea.

"Although it's unclear, since they originally wanted the gem they took back from the Sunset Mansion, it means their goal is actually not much different from ours."

Vermouth spoke thoughtfully.

Bertrand pursed his lips: "Want to cooperate? That organization is so mysterious, even more ruthless than us, and they're anything but discreet."

“We can give it a try.” Gin, who had been sitting silently to the side, spoke in a low voice, wiping his gun in his hand. His tone was cold and cruel. “Cooperation is nothing more than both sides using each other.”

Bertrand nodded with a smile, clearly agreeing. "Yes, yes, if we can get something useful out of them, then this 'cooperation' will have served its purpose."

The three of them were discussing something, while Karasuma Renya listened quietly with his monitor on.

Collaborating with the church is indeed beneficial.

Firstly, they could help locate the experimental base where Bertrand was used as a test subject; secondly, they had more knowledge of magic than the others, and by 'cooperating' with them in a special way, they might be able to obtain many secrets; and thirdly, their research on immortality.

However, there are also many drawbacks.

From a certain perspective, the Church's strength is not much weaker than that of the Black Organization, and may even be slightly stronger.

Judging from their audacity in roaming the neon-lit world, and even killing a well-known person in front of a large crowd, they are not worried that their recklessness will bring them any trouble.

After all, Rum had tried for so long, but still couldn't find any information about Church.

The church is highly mysterious, and their understanding of the organization is too low. There is even a sense that the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. From this point of view, cooperating with the other side would do more harm than good to them.

So... should he give up an opportunity that would be a major breakthrough for him?

If we don't cooperate this time, there may not be another chance.

And he didn't have any more time to wait to find the next magic gem...

Just as Gin and his two companions were discussing more details about the collaboration, Asti, who had been summoned by a text message from Bertrand, pushed open the door and entered.

Karasuma Renya also stopped thinking.

He was also curious whether the card contained magical energy.

Or rather, he was hoping that Asti could create similar magic cards using this card.

When Asti arrived, Bertrand happily jumped towards him.

"You're finally here! There's something I need you to take a look at!"

He smiled and took out a card, handing it to Asti.

Gin and Vermouth both looked over with slight confusion.

Fearing that the existence of magic in this world would shatter their worldview and cause the world's consciousness to retaliate against their physical bodies, Bertrand pulled Asti close to Karasuma Renya's monitor and whispered something to him.

Of course, in front of Karasuma Renya, Asti, who was not under control at the moment, pretended that she was forced to speak softly.

Bertrand: "Speak in a low voice."

Asti pouted, "I know, why all the mystery?"
